[Condor-users] killed jobs hang around in idle state

["Dr Ian C. Smith" <i.c.smith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I'm having problems trying to kill jobs at a certain
time when using Condor 6.6.5 on Win2K. When the job
is killed it continues to hang around in the idle
state indefinitely:

C:\Condor\ics>condor_q -analyze
-- Submitter: 102153-71130c.liv.ac.uk : <138.253.102.153:1042> : 
102153-71130c.l
iv.ac.uk
ID      OWNER            SUBMITTED     RUN_TIME ST PRI SIZE CMD
---
187.000:  Run analysis summary.  Of 2 machines,
     1 are rejected by your job's requirements
     0 reject your job because of their own requirements
     0 match, but are serving users with a better priority in the pool
     1 match, but prefer another specific job despite its worse 
user-priority
     0 match, but will not currently preempt their existing job
     0 are available to run your job
       Last successful match: Tue Jun 22 13:05:31 2004

1 jobs; 1 idle, 0 running, 0 held

The config file looks like:

WANT_SUSPEND = FALSE
WANT_VACATE = TRUE
START = TRUE
SUSPEND = ClockMin > 660
CONTINUE	=	FALSE
PREEMPT = TRUE
KILL = TRUE

Something seems to be wrong judging by SchedLog:

6/22 13:05:57 DaemonCore: Command received via TCP from host

6/22 13:06:04 DaemonCore: Command received via UDP from host 
<138.253.102.153:1371>

any ideas ?

thanks in advance
